Well, it’s Thursday… barely. It’s also bedtime, at least it will be when I finish writting this. Theres a bunch of random stuff going on today. I’ve got a hair appointment at 12, which is very unlike me. A: being up before 12 and B: getting a haircut. As most of you know and/or remember, I’ve been growing the hair “out” for quite a bit, both to the dismay of my parents and to the delight of Lauren. Well, there comes a time when you just feel like a change, and this would be such a time. I don’t quite know what I’m looking for as far as a new “style” but the hairdresser (Lauren’s hairdresser) assures Lauren that “it’ll be cool” so I’m hopeful. After that I have class at 3 in which I think we’ll be watching a movie on Miles Davis, which is always cool.
As for the rest of my weekend, it seems like I’ll be the only person around on Friday. Pete usually works, Jason is driving all the way to Tennesee and the Weezer and Saves the Day show, Lauren is driving to Atlanta to go to the design Expo Center and other spots of interest to interior designers. Which leaves me here. I wonder if Nagle is doing anything.
Speaking of Nagle, according to the last few journal comments, it seems like he would like to get on board with blogproject.com, which is awesome. Which brings us to a grand total of 4 so far (Chris, Chip, Nagle and myself) who would be contributing. This should rawk once we get it going. Which reminds me, I should read the PHPNuke documentation and figure out if it’s useful, maybe pass it on to Chip for him to have a look at. Then, maybe once I get my own site squared away, take a crack at a BP.com site design. But once I get a layout that I like I’ll need a little help with input and such as to what “content” goes where. But that’s a far stretch down the road I suppose.
I think I’m also going to shoot my portrait assignment this weekend. I’m hoping to get Lauren and her three roommates all at once. They always wanted a group portrait, so I figure this will brighten their day as well as fulfill my assignment. Hopefully I can get them all together on Sunday. That way I won’t have to run around and try and get it done next week.
*yawn*
ok, time for bed.

Chris emailed me last night and asked about my general ideas as far as blogproject.com is concerned. I didn’t have time to email him back (but I will this afternoon) but I figured I’d bounce a few ideas around here before hand. Both Chris and I feel that it shouldn’t be an extension of our personal journals. That’s been done before. We’re also leaning toward a more informative oriented site. My idea, originally, was something between slashdot, usr-bin-grl and a movie/music/program review site. I figure that we’re good at being opinionated and maybe we can share a bit of that. Give witty and insiteful commentary on news items, interesting sites, etc as well as give honest and at times sarcastic reviews of movies, music and software. I also feel that there should be some interaction between us (Chris, myself and whoever else comes on board) and the readers. A comment/discussion board is an obvious way to go, but we have to remember that it would require a lot of time. Take a look at deviantart.com, I think they do it well, the comment systems I mean. Personaly, I loath full blown discussion boards and forum, I think they’re silly and 99% imature postings. So, if it can be avoided, I would vote for just a comment system and not a forum, but thats just me. I guess the easiest way to see what I’m getting at would be some examples. Now, I’m not saying that we should copy anyones format. Heck no. I’m just using these as examples of good, interesting sites that have information as well as opinions, which I think should be the ultimate goal.
Deviant Art
DMusic
Melonn
Slashdot
The Filthy Critic

That’s it. It’s class time now. Chris, I’ll talk to you later and I promise I’ll actually be on AIM when I’m at my computer tonight. Later.

I think I hate WMP 7 slightly less today than I have in days past. Why? Because I found these. It certainly won’t replace winamp for my mp3s or AxCD for my CD listening, but it’ll sure make watching movies a little more interesting. Oh well. At least I can live with it now, before it was simply a crappy program. Now it’s nicely coated crappy program.
